Vocations Events

Seminarian Brunch Fundraiser

The Diocese of Manchester kicked off Vocations Awareness Week at the Third Annual Seminarian Brunch Fundraiser.

On Saturday, November 4, 2023, the Most Reverend Peter A. Libasci, D.D., Bishop of Manchester, hosted our third Seminarian Brunch Fundraiser at LaBelle Winery in Amherst, NH. This event provided the public an opportunity to meet our seminarians and share brunch while supporting vocations within the diocese. Each year, the diocese spends nearly $500,000 on tuition and room and board for our seminarians – a little more than $100 a day for each young man studying to be a priest. As many priests are retiring, the diocese is investing in these seminarians to help with their formation and for the future needs of the church.
